Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: Battling Across the Heavens

"Yi Jingren, put down the First Immortal Sword and release the All Heaven Ghosts and Gods, then we can spare your life." Lin Xiangdong said to Yi Jingren inside the gourd.

Yi Jingren heard Lin Xiangdong’s voice, and a somewhat manic smile appeared on his somewhat terrifying face: "Do you really think this way you can defeat me? If you truly could return to emperor-level before I got the First Immortal Sword, perhaps today I would still fear you a little. But now you cannot return to the emperor-level, you think you can suppress me, Yi Jingren, just by relying on these six dead objects? You are underestimating me. Today I will show you that machines are always machines and must be controlled by humans."

As Yi Jingren spoke, his energy burst out, held by Tie with a hand made of flesh and blood, and the First Immortal Sword sealed by Lawless Heaven also emitted the same mysterious glow as Yi Jingren’s body.

"What is that?" Lin Xiangdong tilted his head and looked, but could not see from where Yi Jingren’s energy burst forth.

Lin Zongzheng glanced and said to himself, "Yi Jingren truly is ruthless, he actually dug out the Ghost God Base."

"What? He dug out that thing?" Lin Xiangdong was shocked upon hearing it.

"What is the Ghost God Base?" Lin Shen asked in confusion.

"The Ghost God System itself is not naturally formed by the cosmos, but is a structured energy control system established by the Great Emperor Smart Brain during its continuous evolution and exploration of the universe," Lin Xiangdong explained.

Lin Shen felt it was somewhat absurd when he heard him mention the Great Emperor Smart Brain, thinking to himself, isn’t that just me?

Seemingly seeing through Lin Shen’s thoughts, Lin Xiangdong smiled and said, "We are no longer considered the Great Emperor Smart Brain. Even if Yi Jingren doesn’t control the Ghost God to stop us, we wouldn’t become any emperor. The original state of the Great Emperor Smart Brain was created by humans, and those who originally created it aimed to manufacture humanoid intelligence; hence, in the most primitive directives of the Great Emperor Smart Brain, this is the highest-level directive. During the continuous exploration of the universe, this supreme directive has always been in effect, driving them to pursue evolution towards carbon-based life forms. Ultimately, they succeeded and reincarnated into us."

"So now, we are actually no different from real humans. The difference is just that your past life might have been human, animal, or some other living being, while our past life was a computer, that’s all," Lin Xiangdong cheekily said, "Though I remember the events of my past life, it’s like watching a movie, nothing special; I am still Lin Xiangdong, still your Fourth Brother."

Lin Zongzheng frowned and said, "Fourth Brother, you’re off-topic again."

Lin Xiangdong chuckled, "Third Brother, don’t be anxious. I’m just explaining clearly to Lin Shen, you know he isn’t very quick-minded, and if I don’t explain thoroughly, he wouldn’t understand."

Lin Zongzheng looked at Lin Shen but said nothing more.

Lin Shen felt a bit speechless and thought, "What does looking at me without saying anything mean?"

If it weren’t for the current circumstances not allowing it, Lin Shen would’ve settled scores with them.

"Fourth Brother, Third Brother, when did you know you were the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body?" Lin Shen asked.

"We knew when we entered the Chaos Gourd... oh... that’s the Gourd Mountain... it was transformed by the Chaos Gourd among the Seven Treasures Gourd... Second Brother left many things there in his past life..." Lin Xiangdong said. )

"Focus," Lin Zongzheng reminded once again.

"Alright, the Great Emperor Smart Brain, to put it bluntly, is an advanced computer, not truly an immortal; naturally, it cannot control the material world with intelligence alone, so they established the Ghost God System. This system is divided into three parts: Temple, Divine Base, and Ghost God."

Lin Xiangdong explained, "The Temple is actually an energy collector used to gather energy from the universe. Different temples can absorb different energy, with different functions."

"The Divine Base, or Ghost God Base, is used to store the collected energy; you can think of it as a large battery, used to store the energy gathered by the Temple. And Ghost God is the controller that uses this energy; these controllers can be operated remotely by the Great Emperor Smart Brain through the Ghost God network."

"Yi Jingren cut off the signal with the controllers, so the Smart Brain cannot connect to the controllers and thus cannot manipulate the Ghost God power, which is akin to a disconnected computer; no matter how powerful it is, it can only play locally, unable to play online games or access resources and energy within the Temple..."

"Watch the time," Lin Zongzheng slightly frowned.

"The point is, the Six Emperor Divine Artifacts also cut off the connection between Yi Jingren and the controllers. But he actually dug out the Ghost God Base and carried it with him, equivalent to having an energy or ammunition depot himself, not needing to connect to the Ghost God to have energy for use; moreover, he bypassed the controllers and used the First Immortal Sword as a converter to directly absorb the energy within the Ghost God Base, making himself invincibly powerful, no longer needing to rely on the Ghost God System..." Lin Xiangdong didn’t go off-topic this time and explained the current situation in one go.

"And then? How do we solve it?" Lin Shen understood but didn’t think of a solution.

"How to solve it? Naturally, we can only destroy him before things become uncontrollable." Saying this, Lin Xiangdong flew up and dashed into the gourd.

"Go!" Lin Zongzheng yelled softly and also headed towards the gourd.

Lin Shen shook his head with a bitter smile and looked at Di Esi, Wei, and Ouyang; they were also looking at him.

The few exchanged glances and all moved towards the gourd.

"Great Divine Official, accompany us on this trip." Lin Shen then pulled Shi Zhongqing along; leaving this old man outside was asking for unknown trouble.

"I’m of old age, with frail limbs, perhaps I can’t be of much help?" Shi Zhongqing lightly coughed.

"Go, or I’ll chop you down now." Lin Shen left him no choice.

Shi Zhongqing sighed and could only follow Lin Shen and the others into the gourd.

Inside the gourd, Yi Jingren could no longer be suppressed by Tie alone. Yi Jingren suddenly drew the sword, and the First Immortal Sword brutally severed the flesh and blood fingers gripping the sword.

Once the First Immortal Sword recovered, it madly absorbed the surrounding energy and, with an exceedingly violent stance, slashed towards Tie.

Tie stretched out an iron hand to block, but even that was cut to a deep gash, forcing his body to retreat, plowing two deep furrows in the ground with his legs.

Yi Jingren swung the sword again, yet saw countless snow-like petals fluttering down, as Lin Xiangdong arrived stepping on the snow, with the swirling snowflakes sweeping towards Yi Jingren and the First Immortal Sword.

Yi Jingren cleaved the dancing pear blossoms and was about to slash at Lin Xiangdong when he suddenly sensed something, turning immediately to see Lin Zongzheng ghostly standing behind him, without knowing when, with a hand pressing towards the back of his heart.

Forcefully shifting his figure and leaping up, the First Immortal Sword slashed backhandedly.

In the sky, a blade and a spear fiercely pierced towards Yi Jingren, forcing the First Immortal Sword to cease slashing back, the collision between blade, spear, and sword immediately repelled Lin Shen and Wei Wufu.

Di Esi transformed into countless stardust and enveloped Yi Jingren, as Ouyang’s jade umbrella retracted, sweeping horizontally.

Yi Jingren grabbed the jade umbrella, sending it backhanded, using it to divert the vast stardust.

Almost simultaneously, the immortal sword in Yi Jingren’s other hand blocked the rapid assault from Lin Xiangdong and Lin Zongzheng.

Lin Xiangdong and Lin Zongzheng, working seamlessly in tandem, attacked with such speed as if light was lagging behind, yet couldn’t approach; halfway through a technique, they had to retreat with the First Immortal Sword coming down.

Yi Jingren, singlehandedly, bore the divine might of the Six Emperor Divine Artifacts, battling with everyone, still holding his ground.
